Here's the twist -- He's gonna be my partner.

I honestly have no idea how I'll deal with him or if I will deal with him at all. Suggestions welcome.

Chuck -- seriously, I'd talk to the assignor. It's possible he won't even remember you, but you should be prepared for anything. Your assignor might be able to give you some advice.
